  A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies. If you want to make 36 cookies, how much flour do you need?

  Solution:
  Let the number of cups of flour required to make 36 cookies be x

  Using the concept of proportion

  2:24::x:36

  Thus 2*36= x*24

  On solving the above equation

  x=3

  Thus you need 3 cups of flour to make 36 cookies
